Delivering a Space for Birth Boni, Chris

Abstract

Midwives provide holistic care to women and partners throughout all the stages of pregnancy and birth. This service should be readily accessible to those living outside of urban centres. Currently in Northern BC, this is not the case for a vast majority of rural and Indigenous women who live remotely. Having to travel thousands of kilometres to access care, and also to merely give birth, this project aims to aid those most in need by offering a basic solution to their birth: a space.
